At four o'clock in the morning, the alien fleet finally flew away from Australia under the dual pressure of super artillery and assault fleet.
At 4:22, the landing formation, which had been waiting for several hours, finally entered the atmosphere. More than twenty landing craft flew over the tropical cyclone and arrived in Marida twenty-four minutes later.
The cabin door opened, and Ye Han was the first to jump out of the cabin. The sky was full of stars above his head, there were layers of dark clouds below him, and the wind was whistling in his ears.
He immediately turned off the armor's breathing equipment and took a deep breath of earth's air.
It has been more than a year since he took the orbital elevator away in mid-December last year, and he finally returned to Earth. This feeling was like a wandering wanderer returning to his hometown.
If Bian Ge heard Ye Han's emotion, he would definitely curl his lips and call him hypocritical... Bian Ge is not far above Ye Han. Except for the second battalion, all the officers and soldiers of the Airborne Division are here. Several hundred people have escaped from the landing craft and are on the ground.
Free falling in the pre-dawn night sky.
Ye Han didn't know yet that many soldiers, like him, the first thing they did when jumping out of the landing craft was to turn off their breathing equipment.
The altitude dropped rapidly, and Ye Han suddenly got into the clouds. His sight was immediately blocked by the clouds, and even the individual radar failed in the clouds.
The water droplets in the clouds immediately wet Ye Han's armor, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he took a deep breath, and a moist and cool water vapor poured into his nose... He hadn't felt this way for an unknown amount of time.
.
After a while, Ye Han penetrated the clouds, and he saw Marida in the drizzle.
The insect swarms don't seem to like rainy days very much. Not a single insect can be seen on the street, except for a large number of broken insect corpses piled up outside two air-raid shelters.
There are still several vaguely visible craters in the pile of corpses, which should be traces of the navy's firepower. It is not known where the navy is now.
With only a little more than a thousand meters left, Ye Han shouted on the radio: "Act as planned!" After that, he suddenly opened the parachute bag, and the guide parachute pulled the parachute out of the bag. Ye Han, who was falling rapidly, was immediately caught by the parachute.
Pull it, and it will swing like a pendulum for a few times before it stabilizes.
Ye Han's action was an order. The soldiers who passed through the clouds opened their parachute bags one after another, and a large umbrella flower appeared in the sky above Marida... Ye Han didn't want to use a parachute, but the number of flight bags was limited. After giving priority to equipping the second battalion, the remaining
Only a few dozen were dropped, and they were not suitable for anyone to use. In the end, no one was allowed to use them, and they all parachuted down honestly.
Moreover, the airborne division is not equipped with ordinary round parafoils, but rectangular parafoils with better maneuverability. With the jet equipment on the armor, although it cannot fly like a real powered parafoil, it can still roughly control the direction of flight.
Commanders at all levels immediately began to gather their troops after receiving the order. The originally chaotic parachutes gradually gathered up and were divided into high and low formations like a parafoil performance.
Ye Han shouted on the radio while controlling the parafoil: "Luzhou, Luzhou, the 1st Airborne Division is calling, please answer when you receive it!"
"Luzhou received it, please tell me!"
"Please postman to deliver the package!"
"The postman will leave immediately, please indicate the delivery location!"
"Understood, find a place as soon as you land!"
After the communication ended, the two fully loaded heavy-duty helicopters on the Luzhou took off immediately.
Ye Han switched channels: "Second Battalion, Second Battalion, please answer when you receive it, Second Battalion!"
There was no response from the radio, and Ye Han's heart began to rise again.
Ouyang Ping knew when the main force would arrive. Even if the second battalion went deep into the air raid shelter, Ouyang Ping should have withdrawn early. There was no movement at this time. Could it be that the swarm of insects was really blocking the cave?
Bian Ge suggested: "Sir, should you send someone over to take a look?"
Ye Han thought for a while and replied: "The first and third battalions will act according to the original plan. The guard company will follow me, and the target is No. 1 air-raid shelter!"
"Teacher?" Bian Ge suddenly raised his voice, "I'd better go."
"I'll go." Ye Han insisted, "The situation outside is simple and you can call for support at any time. You can just stay here. The situation in the air-raid shelter is unclear, so I'll go and see for myself."
"Okay then." Bian Ge could only agree, "Which side should I follow?"
"Do you still need to ask? It's warehousing!" Ye Han was speechless, "Do I need to tell you which side has more things to do?"
"Okay, got it."
Finally all the problems were arranged, and Ye Han's height was only a little over a hundred meters away. He pulled the parachute rope and slid lightly to the No. 1 air raid shelter.
Behind him was Luo Qi, and then the entire security company.
When he was still more than 20 meters away from the ground, Ye Han bent his legs in advance and prepared for landing.
The momentum when a paratrooper lands is equivalent to jumping from five meters, with a force of four to five hundred kilograms. Ye Han is wearing power armor and falls much faster than an ordinary paratrooper. If the posture is wrong, even the power armor cannot withstand it.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Han landed on the ground. When his feet touched the ground, he ran a few steps forward to relieve part of the momentum. Then he took off his parachute bag and picked up the rifle in his hand.
When the parachute landed on the ground, it was immediately stuck to the wet ground and covered with dirty water and sludge.
An earthy smell mixed with a damp smell penetrated Ye Han's nostrils. As if he couldn't get enough of it, he took deep breaths several times in a row.
This is the taste of the earth, the taste of the earth, and the taste of home!
The soldiers landed one after another, but no one was as emotional as Ye Han. Some soldiers did not find the right place when they landed, and stepped on the insect corpses. Some crushed the insect shell, some broke the insect belly, and another
The unlucky guy tripped over the insect corpse and almost fell over.
Fortunately, we finally landed safely.
However, both the first and third battalions were in varying degrees of trouble. Several soldiers on Xiao Yuan's side missed their positions and fell into the sea, and several soldiers on Wu Qingbo's side hit the wall.
However, the soldiers were all wearing power armor, and no one was injured due to this trivial matter.
But the next action gave Xiao Yuan and Wu Qingbo a headache again. There was not even a ghost on the streets from the dock to the storage area. What should they do?
The two battalion commanders communicated with Bian Ge, and finally decided to stick to their respective mission areas first, and then send some troops into residential areas to lure out the insects hiding in the darkness.
Ye Han didn't care what they did and pointed directly at the air-raid shelter: "Luo Qi, come on!"
Luo Qi grinned: "Teacher, how can I push it alone?"
"You try it first, if it doesn't work, add more people," Ye Han said.
He wanted to see how powerful Luo Qi would be after his strength increased.
Luo Qi moved forward with a grimace, holding the air-raid shelter door with both hands, applying force little by little - a sudden force might make it easier to push the door open, but the pressure on his body would also be greater. Maybe the door wouldn't be pushed open, but first
I hurt myself.
The door didn't move at all. Luo Qi stopped helplessly and looked back at Ye Han.
